Grover Alexander – Rookie Image, 1911

This iconic photo of Alexander was taken during his rookie year by Paul Thompson. The image was used in the Sporting News M-102 set, the S81 Silks and other period issues. We know it is 1911 based on the fact the Sporting News supplement is dated November 23, 1911 on its front.
